Asian Broth – How to make a Basic Asian Broth? If you are a fan of Asian cuisine then you must boomark it or save in your folder where you save all your favorite recipes.

If you have been following me for a long time, then you probably know that I am an ardent fan of East Asian cuisine, particularly Thai and Viet with a good mix of Chinese and Japanese. The Asian broth based soups and stews are a regular affair in my house for meals.

As a matter of fact, we go often to Thai and other Asian food inspired restaurants for family weekend dinners. Asian broth is just amazing – a perfect blend of spicy, sweet and tangy, bursting with the flavors of kafir lime leaves, lemongrass and galangal.

There is this restaurant called Ban Thai, near my town which serves the best Thai and other Asian food. If you go there for lunch, they serve you Broth based soup with tofu and other vegetables as a part of their Lunch deal.

If you ask me, I can dwell on this broth everyday. The aromas are strong and the flavors of all the ingredients can be distinguished delicately.

The best part about this Asian Broth is that you can make a large batch and store in refrigerator and use as desired. This broth can be used as a base for Asian Vegetable & Tofu soup. You may add noodles to it to make a more wholesome meal.

Disclaimer – Please note that I do not take any responsibility to its originality or authenticity. I have developed this recipe over the period of time with many trials and errors to match the flavors that I am used to, as available in the local Asian restaurants here.

This is how a basic Asian Broth is made, as I make it at home!
